Wedding Letters of Recommendation

November 2
The photo album that Margaret offered is our favorite and most treasured item
from the wedding! The quality of the book itself and the pictures within
are outstanding! Margaret helped us create lifelong memories and an album
that beautifully illustrates them. Cody & Jeanene Ingram.

Amber and I were originally very apprehensive about choosing our wedding photographer. We were skeptical of how we would forever visualize our special day and also concerned about its financial impact. Neither of us could recall a wedding album's images that left a particularly profound memory. We wanted to ensure a lasting impression of the myriad of emotions we knew we would ultimately share with our family and closest of friends. Read on.

We made the right choice when we chose Margaret Lake to take our wedding pictures. She did a wonderful job of taking unique shots that demonstrated the beauty of the garden in which we were married and the emotion of our ceremony. She worked hard throughout the wedding to make sure she had pictures of every important person and moment from every possible angle. Read on.

Having Margaret as our wedding photographer was the best choice we could have made. Her professionalism, creativity, and enthusiasm made our special day that much better. As a semi-professional photographer myself, I was impressed with the photos on her website and could tell she produced quality work. Cheryl and I love how she captured the day for us with a mix of traditional and photojournalism style in color and black & white. Margaret did a great job! Chuck & Cheryl Ehmann

September 30
Working with Margaret made my entire wedding perfect! She took so many wonderful pictures and captured the atmosphere, the emotions, and celebration in every shot. She was so fun to work with and took control of all the pictures, which was not easy when you have 18 people in the wedding party not including the 8 children! She had her work cut out for her, but she arrived with a smile on her face, confidence in herself and turned my wedding into a story that will live on forever in incredible beautiful pictures! We thank you Margaret! Jay & Donna Molina

It was such a joy to have Margaret photograph our wedding day. We were really pleased with the results. She took some wonderful candid pictures, and we didn't even know she was there! We especially love the ones she took outside the church. They were really pretty. Read on.

Cindi and I were incredibly impressed with Margaret, her knowledge of the gardens where our wedding took place, and her enthusiasm for her job on our wedding day. We could not wait to see the pictures of our glorious day! They were even better than we had imagined due to Margaret's special touch of catching the right moments.

Margaret has created pictures of our wedding that will give us memories for a lifetime. Margaret's pictures are breathtaking. Len & Cindi Stevens

February 17
Our wedding day was the result of a year of planning, and a lifetime of dreaming. While we were searching for our photographer, we found several that had nice portfolios and reasonable prices. When we stumbled across Margaret's web site, we were immediately impressed by her presentation and the uniqueness of the work she displayed. After we met her and saw more of her work, we realized that she held a formidable level of skill and made the decision then to hire her. Read on.

After meeting and interviewing several photographers, Lewis and I were becoming very discouraged about the quality of work we were seeing and the very unwarm personalities we were encountering. We wanted a photojournalistic photographer whom we would feel comfortable interacting with on the day of our wedding, a professional who had creative ideas but was also flexible and open to our ideas. Read on.

Working with Margaret through our engagement, wedding and now family pictures has been wonderful. It's nice we have a photographer that we can count on no matter what the occasion is!

Everyone that looks at our wedding album comments on how well she captured the day not just the people. People have even commented that it makes the day so real it takes the place of a video. She became part of our wedding day not just the photographer. Kendra & Bobby Stephenson

September 29
We love Margaret. Unlike most wedding photographers, she was extremely
unobtrusive. We hardly realized her presence, yet she brilliantly captured so much of the excitement and emotions of our wedding.

And besides helping us relive our own memories, her photos give us insight into so many of the things that happened outside our realm of awareness that day. We couldn't be happier with her work! Nikki Miller & Andy Jacobus

I never dreamed that a photographer would want as much for my wedding day as I did, but Margaret Lake Photography gave me more than what I asked for. She listened to everything I requested and found a way to make it happen beautifully on film. It's difficult to make a ten-hour wedding day translate into a story in an album, but Margaret Lake was able to show my family, friends and all the rich traditions of my wedding day in her one-of-a-kind wedding album. We couldn't be happier with how the album turned out and are so delighted to have a souvenir of our wedding day that we can show to people for years to come. Thank-you Margaret Lake - for everything...and more! Amy & Jimmy Lancaster

Margaret was a wonderful addition to our wedding experience. Read on.

October 25
Brooke would not have chosen any other photographer. Margaret was so much fun and made all the photos that she had dreamed of. In the future, she would love to use you as a photographer for her baby's pics also. Mother of the bride - Jan Laremore

June 28
Margaret just recently did our wedding pictures and they were priceless! I was thrilled at the great photographs and quick turn around. As soon as we were back from the honeymoon, she had our pictures ready for review. We had two photographers and it was great to compare Margaret's unique style versus the traditional wedding photographer's style. It was very important to see all the special people in our lives having a great time and it showed in Margaret's photos. She captured the beauty and excitement of the wedding. I had visited all kinds of wedding expos and even interviewed several other photographers before choosing Margaret. She is very personable and works with your ideas, but she can also offer her own unique ideas as well. Her personality shows in all our photographs and it will be treasured forever how beautiful our wedding was! Lisa & Chris Monday

I want to first tell you how impressed I am with you and the pictures that you have displayed on your web site. You have such a quince perspective and a fabulous way to capture the emotion on film. I hope that you continue to succeed in your profession. Read on.

Portrait Letters of Recommendation

You'd be surprised how many places we see it (our portrait). Many of the people we sent holiday cards have framed our first family portrait! Admittedly, I think the artist who drew the smiles from all of us had something to do with it! Margaret is a pleasure to work with, and we look forward to a long relationship with her as our family grows (although we're not quite there yet). Michael Guinta

Margaret did a great job, helping us select the perfect locations for our photography sessions, as well as capturing the personalities of our family in each shot. Cindy Colangelo

Margaret puts such an imaginative touch on her photo shoots unlike any other photographer I've experienced. Not only do her photos come out with a beautiful picture but the creativity behind her photos is priceless. She is warm, patient and really puts her heart into everything she does. I have trusted her work with my wedding, my brothers' wedding, baby showers, birthday parties and my kid's newborn portraits. I am extremely pleased every time. I know there are many photographers but few put their personal touch and meaning into their work. She also takes time to learn some background and history of her clients which only adds to the quality of her shoots. I recommend her to anyone who wants beautiful, glamorous photos. Raquel Cantu

Margaret Lake has taken several wonderful photographs of my children — pictures that capture their true spirit. We are proud to display her work in our home. - Lauren & Hans Buth

I have known Margaret for many years as a friend first, a colleague next, and now as my family's photographer. We met in college and eventually worked together at the same company. In recent years Margaret has established a successful photography business. I use the word "successful" without reservation because she has proven her expertise to me personally this past year upon the birth of my daughter and the wonderfully exceptional photos she has taken throughout the year. Whether the pictures were staged shots such as posing with my infant daughter outside, or candid natural shots like my husband and daughter playing together, all have been of superb quality. Read on.

Memories are one of life's most precious gifts. When you're in the moment,
rarely do you realize the importance of what's taking place. Photographs are
the keys that open the doors to those life experiences. Sometimes looking at
one picture can remind you of an entire day and perhaps the feelings that
accompanied the day.

My wife and I waited seven years before we were able to have a child and to
document her first year of life we enlisted the talents of Margaret Lake. We
have been more than pleased with her work and look forward to working with
Margaret as our family continues to grow. Corey & Vanessa Van Trease

Our son, Jake, was only 2 weeks old the first time Margaret came to our home to photograph him. She was so creative and got some really great shots of him that we will always treasure! We loved her work so much that we chose to have her photograph him again for his first birthday. The patience that Margaret exudes is imminent in getting good pictures of a rambunctious one-year-old! The pictures, again, turned out better than we had hoped for! Thanks Margaret! Stacy & Elan Zonis
